Bottle... This beer rocks!… Pours dark brown (nearly black) with no head. The aroma is of toasted coconut and spiced dark rum. Full-bodied with a velvety mouthfeel and delicate carbonation. Much like the aroma, the flavor offers an intermingling of vanilla, toasted coconut and bourbon booziness. Fairly hot, bourbon and dark chocolate finish. Another world class beer from the fine folks at Goose Island - shared by landhoney!

Pitch black. 1 finger coffee color head. Nose is of very little sweetness and some licorice, mint leaves and dark cocoa bourbon is obviously present as well. Body is heavy but a bit oily. Vanilla and dark chocolate with oatmeal and more licorice. This is such a nice beer but the spiciness is the only turnoff.

Draft at Claybourne on Black Friday.Before the tasting event. Great aromas of chocolate, vanilla, bourbon, light nuts. The flavor is nothing but spectacular. Flavor shows a strong bourbon presence with a mellow burn after the swallow. I swear I get a mild nutty hint, but I kind of a nutjob so.... Just a wonderful fresh BBA stout!
